Reviews
'The fourth edition of Nafziger's book is a great improvement on an excellent 3rd edition. The book is a text book with a gold mine of innovative and current ideas about development. Particularly outstanding in the new edition is the thorough treatment of poverty in Chapter 6. 'Nafziger' is the leading text in the field.' John Weeks, School of Oriental and Asian Studies (SOAS), University of London, 'This first rate text offers a clear and extraordinarily comprehensive treatment of the character and problems of developing countries from a range of perspectives. Its breadth makes it a perfect choice for custom-designed introductory courses in economic development. At the same time, it is filled with valuable references to the literature that serve as a helpful guide for deeper investigation of the key issues.' Lloyd J. Dumas, University of Texas, Dallas, "The 4th edition of Nafziger's book is a great improvement on an excellent 3rd edition. The book is a text book with a gold min of innovative and current ideas about development. Particularly outstanding in the new edition is the thorough treatment of poverty in Chapter 6. 'Nafziger' is the leading text in the field." -John Weeks, School of Oriental and Asian Studies (SOAS), University of London, 'Professor Nafziger's highly readable multi-paradigmatic new text is a welcome addition to the literature. His balanced but critical presentation of the seminal theories in development provides a rich tapestry of ideas from which students can interpret the failures and successes of recent decades. The volume is replete with a real world understanding and measurement of the factors salient to growth and development. This text should set the standard in the field for years to come.' Howard Stein, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 'Professor Nafziger's Economic Development is the most comprehensive text available on the subject. It is written in a clear, lively and readable fashion which makes it very accessible to students. It deals impressively with theory, policy and institutional issues in the best traditions of political economy and draws intelligently on concrete country studies. It highlights the major contemporary debates in policy and their theoretical underpinnings. For all these reasons it will quickly eclipse other textbooks in the field.'

'Nafziger' is the leading text in the field.' John Weeks, School of Oriental and Asian Studies (SOAS), University of London, 'This textbook will be extremely useful to teachers and students. It is truly compendious-in its fair assessment of a wide range of models and theories and in its sustained attention to real-world examples, underpinned by a constant reminder of the significance of problems with empirical data. Rather than applying a body of theory to the problem of developing economies, this is a text book that begins from the diverse, uneven reality of developing countries and explores how economics has been applied, what debates emerge, and what policy relevance these debates have. It is written clearly and at a brisk pace and its particular value emerges by using the text in combination with Internet resources and bibliographic support the book provides.' Christopher Cramer, SOAS, University of London, 'The fourth edition of Nafziger's book is a great improvement on an excellent 3rd edition. The book is a textbook with a gold mine of innovative and current ideas about development. Particularly outstanding in the new edition is the thorough treatment of poverty in Chapter 6.

This highly accessible undergraduate textbook written by a scholar active in economic research in developing countries, is replete with real-world examples. The exposition emphasizes the themes of poverty, inequality, unemployment, the environment, and deficiencies of people in less developed countries, rather than esoteric models of aggregate economic growth., This is a highly accessible lower-level undergraduate text on the economics of developing countries., E.

He also examines China and other post-socialist economies as low- and middle-income countries, without, however, overshadowing a primary focus on the third world.

- y***3 (51)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGood price and arrived quickly
- r***y (224)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOrdered because of non-stock photo and described condition, received a book with a huge "RENT ME" sticker that wraps around the front and spine. Clearly not the book in the listing or even similar, classic bait and switch. Aside from that, the book was probably in better shape before it got shipped. It was packaged only in plastic, no bubble, no cardboard. The corners of the hardcover are all smashed. Now I get to take a hair dryer and try to remove the sticker and own a tumbled looking bookA Friendly Introduction to Number Theory. 3rd edition. Joseph Silverman (#256593646615)
